Says Races Got
A 11 Her Money
Mrs. Mayme French,
of Dewey Hotel,
Causes Arrest,
TURFMAN HELD
Woman Later Says She
Is Sorry for Having
Caused Trouble'.
Special to The Wutinjton RtrilA.
Baltimore. Md. Nov. 16. It took Mrs
ilayme French, an attractive widow ot
, Kansas City, living at the Dewey .Hotel,
"Washington, eleven months and 83,000
in cash to discover that it Is almost Im
possible to beat the race track book
makers at their own same.
Mrs. French's awakening came yester
day. She then reported to theBaltlmore
police that she had placed Jn,000 with
a man who promised that she would be
a rich woman in short order it she
played his "system" for "beating" the
bookmakers.
Accompanied by her lawyer. Mrs.
Trench came to Baltimore. After con
sulting Detective Capt. McGovern and
State 8 Attorney Broenlng. she swore out
a warrant charging: Frederick V." Kurtz,
else known as Frederick Short, an Aus
trian, well known on the Eastern race
tracks, with obtaining $1,000 from her hy
false representation.
Arrested at Hotel
At the Hotel Emerson last night, lifting
liis, hat as be casually spoke to several
friends in the lobby of the hostelr) , where
he has lived for several weeks, Kurtz, or
Short, was approached by Detective Por
ter, who knows nearly every race track
man In the countrj
"Hello. Short," said Porter "We want
Sou at police headquarters. We have a
little matter to talk over with sou."
Short was told that a warrant bad been
sworn out by Mrs. French for his arrest.
' It s not so. it's a big mistake." replied
Short, as he was led from the hotel to
police headquarters. "Mrs. French doesn t
under stand, some one has 'butted in.' "
The romance which has cost Short his
incarceration, for the time being at least,
started in Kansas City, Mo, eleven
months ago. when Mrs. French became In
fatuated with Short
Husband Leaiei Fortune.
Mrs French s husband, who died about
a v ear ago. left her a fortune estimated at
about 120,000, which Mrs. French alleges
she has been sttlndk-d out of The sys
tem whereb) Short is alleged to have ob
tained the money from Mrs. French was
on the promise that he would pay her
dividends on her 'investment at the
rate of 3400 aomontli. Mrs French first
adcanceff Short J6.000, she says, and mf0j. on resolutions of thanks.Irs Peter
return, as collateral, an ,scident policy Your , Joh Woodbun. and Mrs.
on his life for the amount was given her,
it Is stated
Later on Short adylscd Mrs French ,
that he needed $1,000 more in order to
make an investment In some mining
properi) in Aiomana, it is miegea 4.111s
mone). Mrs French sajs, she gave
.short, and at the time he received the
mone he stated to her that the monev
was onlj needed to put up a front"
and that he would rent a safety de
posit vault and place the money In It
simpls as a guarantee that the price
of the land would not be raised. After
this 'investment" he secured S3 SOO
more to be used on a "sure" thing sys-
tern to beat the races is the allegation
On October 1 Short paid Mrs French
Si TOO in dividends in advance, and
then 'borrowed' $1,000 of this money
back, the widow states, and It Is on
this allegation that Short obtained the
money b) false pretenses, that the war
rant was issued
Mrs. French Talks
of Her Troubles
Mrs French, when seen last night at
the Dewey, declared that she had every
confidence in Short's integrity, and she
still believes that if he is left alone
he w ill ' make good "
' I have known Mr Short since my
husband s death, in Kansas City, about
a year ago," said Mrs French, "I was
introduced to him by mutual friends
and shortly after our first meeting Mr
Short suggested to me. that I being a
widow and apparentls not very strong,
that he would like to show me how I
could make soma eass money. I listened
to his stor and even went as far as to
consult friends about the scheme. I
was advisced that it would be all right,
and I went ahead Mr Short took me
to his lawyer's office and here he had
the papers drawn up
"I admit that Mr Short has been one
of the most gentlemanly fellows I have
ever known, and I am loath to believe
that he really meant to cheat mc and I
believe now that If he Is given a chance
he will pay me back everydollar
I did not go Into this matter of having
him arrested of my own volition," said
Mrs. French ' I was forced into it by
others who had no interest in the matter
at all, and I am sorry that I should have
gone as far as I did without giving Mr
Short an opportunity to prove his hon
est) In the matter. I admit that I was
in fatuated with Mr. Short, and I am
quite sure that this affection still exists.
I cannot understand, for the life of me.
why I should have caused his arrest. I
guess I must have been out nf mv mtnri
"Will sougo to Baltimore to-morrow
to prosecute to Mr. Short?" was asked
of Mrs. French.
'I am too ill to leave-mr n tart men t
and will remain in bed, on the advice
of my phsslclan, until I recover from
this nervous excitement. I do not regret
the loss of the J13.000 ir It Is a loss-as
much as I do of the foolisrTact o caus
ing Frederick's arrest without giving
him an opportunity to prove his good

"I am so broken-up over this aair that
1 am on the verge of a nervous collapse,"
she said, "and I am going to retire now
for the night and do not wmt ti be
annosed ay more."
"But, Mrs. French, will you say if you
will .appear against Mr. Short In Balti
more to-morrow or not?" was asked of
her.
"I told you once that my physician
had advised me to remain in bed for a
few days that's all that I've got to say."
and with this Mrs. French closed the
door and said good-night.
Mrs. French Is a preposseslng woman
about thirty years of age and she shows
every sign of cultivation .refinement, and
education.

much trouble among the Democratic
national .leaders has been emphasized
since the arrival in Washington of
Speaker Champ Clark and William J.

his followers that it Is his purpose- to
take an Interest In the legislative pro
gramme, and to make certain, so far as
It possible for him to do so, that the
parti lives up to the pledces of the Bal
timore platform. On the other hand,
friends of Speaker Clark and Leader Un
derwood have caused It to be made
known that the Democratic party in the
House Is competent to manage Its own
affairs without the assistance or advice
of Mr. Br) an.
Democratic leaders hae felt in their
bones ever since the election of Got
Wilson that Mr Br) an would follow a
course that would practically compel the
new President to take sides either with
or against 4hc Nebraskan. In the nature
of things President Wilson will be forced
to do business with Speaker Clark and
leader Underwood in all matters of leg

PRESIDENT TAFT
(IRGES'CHANGESIN
GOVERNMENT
Chief Ex&cutlYS . Favors M
t Presidential Term of
Six Years,
APPROVES BRYAN'S IDEAS
New York. Nov. 18. In one of the
snappiest and wltUest speeches he has
made since he was elected President of
the United States. President Taft to
night gave the members of the Lotus
Club an inside view of what he thought
of the Presidency and told them of a
number of changes which he thought
ought to be made In some of them he
agreed with Gov Wilson in others he
was diametrically opposite.
The President advocated strongly a
single term of six years for the Chief
Executive of the Unltsd States, saying
that this was ample time for him to do
all the good possible and not cnougto
for him to become harmful to the coun
try The giving to Cabinet officers of
seats ln the Senate and House, a move
advocated by William Jennings Bryan,
within the last week, was another step
which the President favored
"I don't care how unambitious or
modest a President Is, said Mr Taft
"I don't care how determined he Is
that he himself will not obtain his re-
nomination (and there are very few In
deed who go to that extent), still his
subordinates equall) Interested with
him In his re-election wllL whenever
they have the opportunity, exert their
Influences and divide their time between
public service and the effort to secure
their chiefs renomlnatlon and re-elec
tion It is difficult to prevent the whole
administration from losing a part of Its
effectiveness for the public good by this
diversion to political effort for at least
year of the four of each administra
tion Were this made impossible "by
law, I can see no reason why the en
ergy ot the President and that of all
his subordinates might not be directed
rather to making a great record of ef
ficiency in the first and only term than
ln seeking a second term for that pur
pose. Tour years is rather a short time In
which to work out great governmental
policies. Six )eara Is better

Another suggestion I would make l
that legislative steps be taken, for there
Is nothing In the Constitution to forbid it.
to bringing more closely together the
operation of the executive and legislative
branches. It would not add any more
actual power to the Executive ln legisla
tive matters Nor would It give the legis-
latlve more power In executive matters.
The veto on one hand and the confirma
tion appointments and the ratifications of
treaties on the other hand I would not
changt
' But It docs seem to me that they
need not be at arms length as they now
are under our present s) stem It has been
proposed twice In our hlstorv after the
f ullet consideration by some of the w Isest
statemen we have ever had to pas a law
giving to each department head a seat
in the Senate and In the Houe and a
right to enter into the discussion of the
propesed legislation In either of the na-tlon-il
legislative bodies. This would keep
Congress much better Informed as to the
actual conditions In the executive de
partments It would keep the department
heads on the qui vive with reference to
their knowledge of their own depart
ment, and their ablllt) to answer appro
priate questions ln respect to them It
would necessitate the appointment to the
Cabinet of men used to debate and to de
fend their positions, and It would offer an
opportunity for the public to Judge of
the Executive and his government much
more Justly and much more quickly than
under our present system The ignorance
that Congress at times has of what act
ual!) Is going on in the executive depart
ments and the fact that hours of debate
and pases of the Congressional Record
might be avoided b) the answer to a sin

cer on the floor of either house Is f requent
1) brought sharply to the attention of
competent observer I think, too. It might
perhaps promote the amenities between

Presidential Job Easy.
In the course of his speech President
Taft declared that the Presidency Is far
from being an easy post to fill, but that
he considered that the man who held It
was well compensated "The PresI
dency, laughed Mr Taft, ' is not i
peace to bo enjo) ed b) a sensitive man '
Referring to the results of the elec
tion the President said I beg )ou to
believe that ln spite of the ver) em
phatic verdict by which I leave the
office. I cherish only the deepest grati
tude to the American people for having
given me the honor of having held of
fice, and I sincerely hope. In looking
back over what has been done, that
there Is enough" of progrers made to
warrant me ln the belief that real good
has been accomplished, even though I
regret that it has not been greater My
chief regret Is my failure to obtain from
the Senate the ratification of the general
arbitration treaties with France and
Great Britain I am sure the) would
have been great steps toward general
world peace "
